Why is Klitschko so dedicated to the WBA title?

Its looking like a plane wreck. He cant get browne. Hes being forced to take the joshua fight

 

I think a lot has to do with that if he doesn't get the WBA belt in his coming fight, he probably has no chance to ever win it back.
The Joshua fight will still be there, but just like in the past, it's very difficult to get hold of when some nobody gets his hands on it. The WBA HW circle jerk was one of the hardest to break in the past, and now with everyone somehow being "mandatory", you can imagine that it would be lost forever to Wlad if he doesn't fight for it now.
Remember that last time it took over 11 years (!!!!) for the WBA belt to come back to the #1 heavyweight in the division...

 

I don't think anyone is hoping the fight falls apart. But you are kidding yourself if you think Joshua is going to fight anyone with a pulse if this fight isn't made. I actually like Hearn he has a decent stable of fighters and has proven he is the man in the UK to be with right now. At this point it just seems Wlad is content to get s belt then come back and revisit the Joshua fight in the Spring or Summer. This is actually better for Joshua because he can pick between Klitschko or Parker in the Spring/Summer for a unification fight so it isn't only Wlad that benefits. I have no doubt if the WBA sanctioned the fight Joshua and Wlad would be fighting each other.

One boxing writer hinted that he thinks Wlad is angling to get the WBA belt so he can fight Wilder in the States for unification. Regardless both Wlad and Joshua will have options regardless if they fight or not.

 

Because the belt comes attached with a D - level door man who has no business anywhere near world level , thats why.

If the IBF was vacant and came with a bum , he'd be saying that belt was most important to him cos it was the belt which kick started his title reign.

 

His excuse not to fight Joshua was a dead give away. - I want two belts on the line

Yet he is happy to fight Browne for one paper belt

 

Hearn also wants 2 belts on the line. Who wouldn't? Fury is the one that caused this mess by ducking the rematch with Wlad.

 

It's odd

I figure fight Joshua for the IBF and then get the WBC from Wilder. It's the only belt he never had

 

Eric Molina is an unacceptable opponent. You have:

1. Joseph Parker
2. Kubrat Pulev
3. David Haye
4. Johan Duhaupas
5. Andy Ruiz
6. Carlos Takam
7. Vyacheslav Glazkov
8. Eric Molina
9. Jarrell Miller
10. Charles Martin
11. Derek Chisora
12. David Price
13. Hughie Fury
14. Bermane Stiverne
15. Dominic Breazeale

What stands out about that list as far as easy fights to make. It isn't hard to see there are 3 viable options who are not complete walkovers.

 

Pulev.

 

Didn't Pulev pull out of possible Joshua fight saying he wasn't ready?

 

I don't see why Pulev wouldn't be ready for Joshua when he already fought Klitschko.... JS

 

Hearn said they couldn't come to terms on money. I think the wasn't ready was when Joshua fought Breazealle.
